Update: Oh hey, look. Little Big Planet 2 was just officially announced. You can check out the first trailer after the jump.

I can’t wait. I was trying to make actual levels with stories in the first LittleBigPlanet but found it hard to do so, but it looks like with this it’ll be easy enough that a Marche can do it (easilier).

And yes. That music is totally unneccessary, but something about it makes it ok.
